While it's not intended as an entry level radio, FrSKY will be entering the Radio Market in April. The Official name of their first radio is not known, but it will be 9 Channels. Will have open source software, an ARM Cortex 4.0 processor, speaker, headphone jack, microSD card slot, be speech capable, telemetry logging capable, PXX -- a new digital communications protocol that will bind the transmitter to the receiver -- similar to model match -- it will be capable of running two different transmission protocols - and most receivers have built in diversity an the two antennas. Built in USB, Haptic alarms, Multi language (at least German, English, French, and some others I can't remember). Price? big mystery -- but expect to be shocked at how affordable. The Open9x and ER9x crew have been working like crazy to have open source software ready for it right from the start. FrSKY has been working WITH the 9x community on this project, rather than forking their work as was recently done on another recent low priced transmitter. Later in the year FrSKY will have a 12 ch and later yet a 16 channel that will blow my socks off. What is really attractive about this transmitter is that when your lowest cell on your quad battery hits whatever threashold you set the transmitter can be set to shake and yell at you -- literally.

Stay tuned -- I think this transmitter will do for the radio what Copter Control has done for the multicopter.

I have programmed the board using the GCS. All seems well there (proper lights on board, correct motors spin in correct direction in output tab (config) with "test outputs" selected.

I have gone through setup on the Turnigy (Model Heli, Heli 2, Mode 2, PPM)

I have gone through GCS Input (config) (Mode 2, stick calibrations, Arming set at roll left)

This is where I am stuck. After saving settings, powering off and on, arming does nothing.

I feel like I'm getting close!

Appreciate the help in advance

Assuming the receiver is bound to the transmitter. Be sure you've calibrated the sticks on the Taranis AND in the GCS. Check the Channel Monitor to see that you're in fact issuing -100 on THR and +100 on RUD (if that's the arming position you've chosen)11-3-2013 7-18-34 AM.png97.67KB12 downloads

You need to assign the switches you want to use to channels in your radio.

Remember, if you are using a PWM receiver setup you only have 6 channels to play with, 4 for control, 1 for flight mode & 1 for accessory.

Thank you for the answer

Am I wrong if I say that I don't need the accessories to get the quad fly? 4 control and flight mode switch is enough?

I already tried to get off the ground with it, but one of the motors (3) are always slower and I afraid the drone will just fall over. I thought it is because I need to set up something with one of the accessory stick.
